Claiming back VAT

[ElizaKate]

I have been told that I can claim back vat on any goods that I buy for my Type 2 diabetes. How do I do this? I usually buy from Amazon but cannot see any mention of claiming back vat. Any advice would be appreciated.

I’ve never claimed VAT when ordering from Amazon but found this for you
